Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on detecting multijet signatures from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV, analyzing a dataset totaling 128 fb^{-1}.
  • A special data scouting method is utilized to pick out events with low combined momentum in jets.
  • This research is pioneering in its investigation of electroweak particle production in R-parity violating supersymmetric models, particularly examining hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and it broadens the limits on the existence of R-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.

The first search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, collected in 2016-2018 by the CMS detector at the LHC. Such SUEPs are predicted by hidden valley models with a new, confining force with a large 't Hooft coupling. In events with boosted topologies, selected by high-threshold hadronic triggers, the multiplicity and sphericity of clustered tracks are used to reject the background from standard model quantum chromodynamics.

The first search for the Z boson decay to ττμμ at the CERN LHC is presented, based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. The data are compatible with the predicted background. For the first time, an upper limit at the 95% confidence level of 6.

Article Synopsis
  • Channelopathies are inherited conditions from gene mutations affecting ion channels, leading to conditions like long QT syndrome and CPVT, which are difficult to diagnose, especially with certain genetic variants.
  • The review highlights the abundance of splicing-site variants of unclear significance in channelopathy-related genes and emphasizes the need for further research and advanced methods like RNA sequencing and in silico studies to better understand these variants.

Quantification of human DNA is key in forensic genetics. A more accurate estimate of the amount of DNA is essential for planning and optimising genotyping assays, as is evaluating the presence of PCR inhibitory substances and DNA degradation status. Multiplex qPCR assays are helpful in forensics because they can quantify different targets simultaneously, thus saving valuable samples, time, and labour.
